New York Mills art teacher Jacqueline Pylman, who is organizing this year’s centerpiece project, came up with the idea to create stone pillars.

“We don’t have a budget, and I knew we wanted to do something 3-D and inspirational,” Pylman said.

Pylman and her students interviewed the school’s track coach and race participants to come up with “runner vocabulary” to put on the stones such as “push through.”

The stones were collected from around her home on Delta Lake in Rome.

Other districts that have created the centerpieces in the past include Westmoreland, Utica and Sauquoit.

“I save the centerpieces each year and put them out the following year,” Dardano said.
